There is no end to the danger. The world lost millions of people due to the epidemic. Who knows how much is still left to see! In the meantime, Amphan ravaged India. The magnetic field of a part of the world is getting weaker. In the meantime, another worrying news is coming to the fore.

Giant tectonic plate under Indian Ocean is breaking into two parts, Researcher finds

The tectonic plate at the bottom of the Indian Ocean is breaking. Researchers have recently discovered this information. There is a gap in that tectonic plate between Australia and India. Moving 0.06 inches or 1.7 millimeters each year.

According to the scientific website Live Science, there was an earthquake under the Indian Ocean once eight years ago. Scientists have been noticing this change in the plate ever since. Scientists at the Institute of Earth Physics of Paris have brought this information to the fore.

The speed at which these two plates move is very slow. But if it continues like this, it will take 1 million years for two plates to go one mile away. But the whole process is happening underwater. As a result, it is not always possible to keep track of what is going on.

Although the speed at which the two plates separate is low, scientists are concerned about this. This is because moving the plate in this way can cause an earthquake. However, scientists are not saying anything definite about a major earthquake soon. There was an earthquake on this plate in 2012. Whose level was 8. And this is because of that incident. This information was collected from submarine relief and seismic data.

According to the researchers, a special 'fault' has been found in the area. And that fault began to occur millions of years ago. This led to a massive earthquake in 2012. And when these two plates move away from each other slowly, Even then earthquakes can happen. However, scientists have said that there is no possibility of such a catastrophe soon.
